Not quite sure what you're asking? Your question doesn't make much sense (at least to me).

If you want a media center with storage built in then buy yourself a first generation x-box, chip it, load up XBMC onto it and put that under your TV. You can then play stuff off it and also have storage built into it.

That's kind of what TakeTV does.  It's a Flash Drive that you can put video on, and it has a cradle that is connected to your TV.  It has its own storage, so I'm not sure why you would want to add another drive.
